Are you sure about "echo 0" and "echo device"? Shoudln't "echo 1" and
"echo host" be there instead?

OK, thank you ! I did changes according to what you wrote and according
to dmesg messages, FR is now able to detect the devices. See messages
that showed up after I connected my flash drive:
25583.650000] s3c2410: changing usb to host
[25618.740000] usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using s3c2410-ohci and
address 11
[25618.920000] usb 1-2: New USB device found, idVendor=090c,
idProduct=1000
[25618.920000] usb 1-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2,
SerialNumber=3
[25618.920000] usb 1-2: Product: Flash Disk
[25618.920000] usb 1-2: Manufacturer: USB
[25618.920000] usb 1-2: SerialNumber: FBD1004260016292
... and that's all. No partitions were detected, etc. If I connected
USBtoRS232 converter, FR detected it but device /dev/ttyUSB0 is not
generated. I have no idea what's wrong. Module for the converter is
present (pl2303) - when I load it manually (by modprobe), device ttyUSB0
appears, but can't be used. Stty complains about "inapropriate ioctl for
device" and echo "whatever" > /dev/ttyUSB0 is not transmitting a byte.

Yes, now it works! Although even if I rescan the system, files that are
no longer on the uSD card are still listed in "Documents".

It is very hard to make people to describe it better I'll try to
solder that cap to GSM module.
